Blood Jasper is a beautiful stone that exhibits a lovely red-black color, with white veins running throughout the stone. This is common for all Jasper stones. Its name comes from the Greek word for “spotted stone,” which refers to its striped, flamed, spotted, and multicolored appearance. Ancient Greeks believed that the red spots on this stone are droplets of blood. Hence, the name Blood Jasper. This stone exhibits veins and flecks of red within an opaque background. Ancient folklore characterized this stone as excellent weapons for warriors or anyone who is experiencing conflicts and challenges. It was believed that this stone can stop blood from falling.
